Mt. McKinley: Haugen & Team - Ground Hog’s Day

Wednesday, July 3, 2013
We woke up today to more of the same conditions at McKinley Basecamp. At least with these conditions, there is no waiting around to see if we are going to fly. There is always tomorrow!
We took a walk down to the lower airstrip to stretch our legs a bit.
With plenty of food and gas, at least we are eating well! The morale is still good and the team is hanging in strong while missing our loved ones (and real food).

Happy 4th of July To Cindee and her team! Wishing you all a safe and restful return, beers and tacos waiting for you when you get back to SF:)

The other night I had a warm peanut butter pop tart with a scoop of ice cream and some chocolate syrup. I feel sure that had pop tarts been included on this expedition, you guys would not still be snowed in.

Hi Pop. We miss you. Crazy cooler weather the last few days. Highs in the 80’s . Rosie has been here and she has been great company. The beer is on ice. Big Pete still watching the door for your return.

Blimey Steve! I thought you’d be back by now; just caught up with this news. I hope you’re not bored. Reading those books by Stieg Larsson?
